Slow improvement in the economic picture is one thing. I can live with that. But the recent rise in the unemployment rate and the steep drop in the stock market kick me in the gut. I can live with the political status quo as long as it produces even modest economic progress, but when we start to backslide, I start looking for change.

Do you feel that while you may like much about the tone of the Obama administration, it is failing to create an environment that fosters economic growth? Do you feel that President Obama has had his chance and failed? Do you now believe that the President has been out there pitching for a long time and has shown us his best fast ball, and despite that, we are falling further behind?
